Karli Morgenthau, a gender-swapped version of Karl Morgenthau, leads a terrorist group compose of super-soldiers who believe the world was better during the Blip. Instead of using Flag-Smasher as a personal moniker, the whole team is called The Flag-Smashers instead of ULTIMATUM.

After the Snap, Earth's nations united as one people to work together to survive the harsh aftermath of the culling, ceasing hostilities and disputes, offering jobs to anyone willing to help, but the Blip resurrected those lost, causing unemployment and homelessness, which restored past hostilities and the formation of the Global Repatriation Council. Karli Morgenthau believed the GRC cared more about those who returned than the ones who never left and began recruiting like-minded individuals to form the Flag Smashers, a revolutionary group whose mission statement was to restore things back to the way they were during the five years; a united world without borders or patriotism, helping each other in times of need. Their logo, a human handprint with the Earth as its palm, would reflect this.
